Join us Monday daytime for Brunch!

We hate goodbyes. We understand you probably have to head home though. What better way to bid farewell to new found JS friends than over strong coffee, mimosas, eggs, bacon and matjes*? What’s more, we’ve picked a location that is just a couple minutes on foot from Berlin Hauptbahnhof (Central Station). When it does come time to part company, you will be well provided for with transport options.

The Practicalities (or getting home)

We really don’t want to see you leave. Did we mention that already? But the following information may help you arrive rested and unflustered:

your baggage

If you have heavy bags with you, we recommend you leave them in one of the lockers at Hauptbahnhof. Lockers are available on the first floor (second floor, if you’re from the U.S.). Look for the signs for Schliessfächer (or see the station map).

leaving on a train

The Zollpackhaus Restaurant is located 5 minutes from Berlin Hauptbahnhof, Europe’s largest railway station. Consult the Deutsche Bahn (German Railways) for schedules and real-time arrivals and departure information.

leaving on a plane

Regardless of the airport you’re flying out from, you should find it straightforward to catch your flight (if you’re unsure of whether you fly from Tegel or Schönefeld, check this airline list).

Berlin Tegel Airport (TXL)

The fastest way to Tegel is travelling with the JetExpressBus TXL. The bus service runs every 5 minutes and normally takes 20 minutes from Hauptbahnhof. There are bus stops for TXL on both the south and north sides of the station (Washingtonplatz, Europaplatz).

Conferences are about people. Speakers, attendees and what they make of time spent together. At JSConf EU, we think a bit bigger. Many people travel to Berlin to attend, but not everybody from Berlin can be at the conference.

That’s why we are, like every year, opening our conference parties to the general public. Drinks are on us (until the tab runs out :).

We are inviting the Berlin tech community (that is you) and their friends to hang out with everybody that is in town for JSConf EU.

The main party is on Saturday, October 6th, 20:30, if you have to make your pick, this is the one to attend.

If Saturday doesn’t work for you, we are also meeting on Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

Party.js

8pm, TBA

Our friends at co.up are open all week for you all to hang out and hack. co.up is a friendly community coworking space and the home of @berlinjs.

For JSConf attendees who need a place to work, hack, or just want to hang out & meet people, co.up will be open & waiting for you on October 4th, starting at 10:00! Please come up to the top floor & introduce yourself so we can help get you set up. See you then!

There will be five Saucers on hand to walk you through a variety of topics, including why you should test your code, how to get started with Selenium and functional automated testing, and what JS tools are out there for writing tests. You’ll create functional tests for a simple Node app that we’ll run on desktop and mobile web browsers, and we’ll provide hands-on help when you need it.

Plus, we’ll feed you lunch AND get you sufficiently tipsy.

To join the workshop, you don’t need to have any testing experience, but you should have basic knowledge of node.js. You will also need to bring your own computer. We’ll set you up with everything else at the start of the workshop.

We are happy to announce that HP is running an Enyo Workshop on Friday, October 5th, 13:00-17:00

Interested in creating cross-platform, mobile Web Applications with Javascript? See how the
free and open-source Framework Enyo can help you to focus on Javascript, Components and Encapsulation
when writing Web and Mobile Applications.

This will be an hands-on Workshop, so expect less talk and more action :)
